Question

the articles of confederation had a president
true
false

Explanation:

Under the Articles of Confederation, there was a President of the Continental Congress (a presiding officer), though the role was weak and different from the later U.S. President. However, the system had a position with the title - related to presidency in the congress context. Wait, no—correction: The Articles of Confederation had a "President of the United States in Congress Assembled" (a ceremonial, weak role, not the executive - like President later). But the question is if it "had a President"—the answer is True, as there was a president - titled position (even if limited).

Answer:

True
